Episode 3 also had the deus ex machina ending praising communism.
I can handle subversion but at least be a bit subtle about it.

I thought that first ep was less about the tranny thing than about traditionalism vs modernism and it was dealt with from a purely alien culture perspective so it was fine.
This one was after-school-special quality writing using the premise of the other ep as a springboard.
Kid "feels" wrong and his feelings are validated by a progressive stronk wamen because no other considerations matter. Talks about suicide so you know this is srs biznis. Traditional father objects and is shown as the unrepentant bad guy. "Heroic" "allies" (led by a white woman of course) make the transition happen over the father's and standing legal objections, father shows he is a "bigot". "and everyone clapped"
yeah, but in the end, everyone clapped over a DE-transition, which is based.
Topa was returned to her correct gender. The fact that this was seen as "progressive" is just a trope subversion.
So in other words they made something so incredibly fake and gay it somehow went through the walls of reality and became based?
